5 Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of 21 inches; each unit was the standard length plus three inches. He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was about 10 feet, and its height was the same.
6 Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10 feet deep — the first threshold was 10 feet deep.
7 Each recess was about 10 feet long and 10 feet deep, and there was a space of 8 3/4 feet between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was about 10 feet.
8 Next he measured the portico of the gate;
9 it was 14 feet, and its pilasters were 3 1/2 feet. The portico of the gate was on the temple side.
10 There were three recesses on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the pilasters on either side also had the same measurements.
11 Then he measured the width of the gate’s entrance; it was 17 1/2 feet, while the width of the gateway was 22 3/4 feet.
